Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 23, 1993 and granted January 2, 1996. A patent filed before June 8, 1995 lasts 17 years from grant or 20 from filing, whichever is longer, so its term ended December 23, 2013.
  • Any extension is capped at five years, so it can't still be in force.
  • We haven't checked its US family, and a later related patent could still be in force. We check US rights only.
